Yes, interesting isn't it. I thought about it and then I came to another conclusion. It goes like this. If I was an editor, would I risk sparking even more hatred by publishing cartoons that unleashed so much violence? I don't know. It's doesn't seem worth it when it would be so obviously a provocation. There are many ways to point out Muslim lunacy other than deliberately offending their religion. Publishers throughout Europe posted the cartoons after the Muslims began to riot. American papers did not. You just can't say you believe in democracy. IMO you have to know when to support it.

If I was an editor, would I risk sparking even more hatred by publishing cartoons that unleashed so much violence? Or if you were a publisher you could publish cartoons offensive to your own country's population, and let your population see how it feels. I can imagine the headline. "Muslims riot against depictions of Mohamed in Danish papers. Lets see what the Danes think of these naked pictures of their Queen!! Oh, and here's some pictures of typical Danish tourists buying 12 year old boys for sex in Thailand. We must defend freedom of speech, especially when it portrays the Danes in a bad way!"
